Raccoon: Anyway, the only weddings I've been to or served were Catholic so there are traces of my religion in there. Plus, I'm in college; I'm poor so I don't own FMA.

"I guess somehow that this day was bound to come. I just wish Daddy was here to be with me. Brother Al isn't supposed to be in the room with me and yet, I'm glad. After Daddy died, Brother Ed, Brother Al, and Winry were there in my life as much as their own lives allowed. And if I had never come to visit them, I would have never met Zak; the wonderful man who asked me to marry him. He'd do anything to make sure I was happy."

"What are you thinking about Elycia?" Al asked.

"How much Daddy would have loved to be here," I reply as Al combs his fingers through my curls. That had to have been the biggest surprise; my brothers actually knew how to do hair. But then again, Ed had had long hair the entire time I knew him. It still was long because he refused to cut it.

"Where did Brother Ed go to?"

"I shall find him for you Princess Elycia!"

I giggled. That was a running joke between my brothers and me. But then again, I was the one who had insisted on it for quite a few years. I guess I had missed being called princess by Daddy. I wrapped Al in a hug before letting him go to find his brother. Ed had been gone a long time now. And he had promised to walk my mother down the aisle so she could light the candle.

XXXXXXXX

I was walking towards the cemetery since I knew Ed had to be there. It only seemed fair to make sure he got back in time. Tonight was the dress rehearsal and Granny was going nuts. She told me that I had to find Ed soon. As I came closer to the cemetery I could hear him talking aloud to no one.

"I took the blame for the entire thing because I was insistent."

I knew then that I should reveal myself. After all, I had agreed to find Ed.

"You took the blame because you believed that it was your job to."

Ed jumped slightly and I held back a laugh. Brother wasn't easily startled and he watched as I knelt down beside him.

"Besides, I've already forgiven you. It was my choice too. And bottling it up is bad for you."

He gave me a strange look. I knew I had reminded him of mother.

"What can we do now?"

"Live. We're here and alive aren't we?"

"Yes. Now it doesn't surprise me that people often mistook you for being older."

Ed had matured once he got out of his teens. It was the biggest surprise for everyone else including me and I'm his brother!

"Brother, we need to head back. Granny wants to make sure that everything is ready for the big day."

As Ed stands to follow me back, I notice he's turned around one last time before going. A smile graces his face before he turns and starts walking. It is beyond time that we head back. After all, we were in the wedding too.
